Lyrics
PAINT THE TOWN BLUE
It's 2 am and I'm wide awake
just waiting for the day to break
I won't go to work - I can't make it
I'll ring in sick - guess I'll fake it!
I can't go on, what shall I do?
I'll have one more drink then I'll, Paint The Town Blue
When the neon shines I see others walking
Some hand in hand, others talking
Behind my window, they can't see me
a broken man, not thinking clearly
I cant go on, What shall I do?
I'll find somewhere, then I'll, Paint The Town Blue
And the radio plays some forgotten song
About how somebody done someone wrong
Was it me they were thinking of?
Falling in, and out, of love.....
I found myself up on Primrose Hill
200 others - just standing still
So If your lonely, here's the place
let the tears roll down your face
No need for words, ... they all knew!
Why so many, Paint The Town Blue
Repeat Middle - Sax Break
If you find that you can't sleep
and others hold what you can't keep
I know a place, where we can go
sit and watch the numbers grow
So many people, like me and you
We'll have one more drink, and we'll....
have one more drink and we'll,......
have one last drink and we'll .............Paint the Town Blue
